INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE:
1.
The first step to insure a good installation of a Patty
O’Room is to park the RV on flat and level surface.
2.
Open the awning so that the slope of the canopy ap-
proximates the angle of the side panels. (The Patty
O’Room may be enjoyed with the awning support arms
in the Patio Position as well as in the RV Pivot Posi-
tion.) Make certain that awning fabric is stretched taut,
and the roller tube is level. See FIG. 2.
3.
There is a 3/16” diameter poly rope sewn into the top
edge of the front panels. The front panels are to be hung
from the roller tube by inserting the poly rope into the
groove/slot in the left hand end cap and sliding it the
entire length of the roller tube. This groove should be
facing the ground.
4.
Check the groove/slot in the end cap for burrs and sharp
edges. Remove any burr or sharp edges using a flat or
round file. See FIG. 3.
5.
Zip door and panels together to make the front screen
assembly. The door may be installed on either end of
the front or between panels.
6.
While one person pulls on the leading edge of the front
assembly, a second person feeds and guides the pan-
els into the groove. Spray the groove with a dry Teflon
spray lubricant to make this operation easier. See FIG.

7.
For full width Patty O’Room place the front panel as-
sembly so that it is centered in relationship to the front
of the awning. Mark the roller tube 3/4” from the zipper
edge of the front panel and 3/4” from the groove in the
roller tube where awning fabric attaches. Center punch
where the lines cross. Use the 1/8” drill bit and electric
drill to make a pilot hole in the roller tube. Change to the
3/8” drill bit and enlarge the hole.
NOTE: A smaller Patty O’Room used with a larger aw-
ning may be located in a similar fashion as long as the
zipper at each end of the front panel is used as a guide
to locate the hole for the rafter pole.
8.
Measure the distance from the edge of the awning fab-
ric to the center of the hole in the roller tube. This is the
dimension for the location of the pole holder. See FIG.
4.
9.
Using a measuring tape, measure and mark the same
dimension on the side of the coach below the awning
rail as measured in step 8. Place pole holder directly
below awning rail. See FIG. 5
10. Place the pole holder under the awning rail on the line
and mark its center point. Use 1/8” drill bit to make a
pilot hole. See FIG. 5.
